To make video links
1 Ensure that the computer systems to be connected are switched off and that
no power is applied to the Adder unit.
(Note: If it is not possible to switch off systems prior to connection, then
a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the
Hot plugging and mouse
restoration
section for more details).
2 At the rear panel of the Adder unit, connect a video link cable to socket A of
port 1. Ensure that the securing screws are used to maintain a reliable link.
3 Connect the plug at the other end of the video link cable to the corresponding
video output socket of the host computer.
4 If a second video channel from the same system is to be used, repeat steps 2
and 3 for the socket C of port 1 (SVMS4-DS models only).
5 Repeat all of the above steps for each port to be used.
To make serial links
1 Ensure that the computer systems to be connected are switched off and that
no power is applied to the Adder unit.
(Note: If it is not possible to switch off systems prior to connection, then
a ‘Hot plug’ procedure is available – see the
Hot plugging and mouse
restoration
section for more details).
2 At the rear panel of the Adder unit, connect a serial link cable to socket B
of port 1 (D-type, male, 9 way socket). Ensure that the securing screws are
used to maintain a reliable link.
3 Connect the plug at the other end of the serial link cable to the corresponding
serial socket of the host computer.
4 If a second serial link from the same system is to be used, repeat steps 2 and 3
for the socket D of port 1 (SVMS4-DS models only).
5 Repeat all of the above steps for each port to be used.
